I'm not sure this describes a function at all. Is y supposed to be the range of the function? If so, then there are a number of functions here, one for each value of y. So we suppose that y is just a member of the range, in which case what is the value for y -- all the mothers of all the y's. That looks more like the domain/counterrange, rather than the value for a single member. If it is the value then this is clearly not the function I have in mind (and I worry a bit about the {ro ro de} involved) . I still think that what is intended is just {da poi [ke'a] function rode le mamta be de} or {function le romei le mamta romei}, if just giving range and domain are enough. And, of course, I think that {le mamta be ce'u} does that nicely (notice that, given certain assumptions, this would follow out of the descriptions given earlier). --part1_18.1315f6b6.28e8808b_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 9/29/2001 9:33:33 PM Central Daylight Time, a.rosta@dtn.ntl.com writes:

something x such that every y is (in the?) the range of the function x with domain all the mothers of all the every y.
